Tasting Notes
A fortified style of wine native to the Jura made by newcomer and rising star Eric Goypieron. This wine is made with a single variety, Chardonnay. Typically a blend of several native varieties. It is quite rare to see single varietal Macvin. Expect very ripe stone and orchard fruit flavours with a dominant mealy/bran character. Lovely at the end of a meal. - Pete L
Eric Goypieron is a bit of a rule-breaker. His Jura wines are produced under the "Vin de France" designation as he finds even the Jura appellation too conformative.
That said, Eric's "Vin de France" Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard and Trousseau are a great starting place for anyone curious about the Jurassic World: in some of the cuvées the oxidative style is somewhat refined, and vinification in tank sees a freshness across the un-veiled range, introducing you conservatively but intimately with the varietals of the region. Even his Macvins (the fortified wines of the Jura) are produced from single varietals, rather than the trend of fortifying a blend.
Learning the craft from famed Jurassiens Jacques Puffernay and friend Michel Gahier, Eric farms organically with a respect for the land; his wines are made without additions or preservatives. As the salty, tart style of the Jura lends itself, Eric's wines are best enjoyed with good food and even better company.
